Important Message from Fraser Health for Families

2024 11 12 Letter to Superintendents - H5 Avian Influenza (Final).pdf

Out of an abundance of caution, Fraser Health has sent school districts in the region a letter about the teenager who has tested presumptively positive for avian influenza. Please see the letter attached for more information. We encourage everyone to practice the preventative measures suggested, including:

Stay up to date on all immunizations, especially the seasonal flu vaccine
Do not touch sick or dead animals
Stay home if you are sick
